Holtong Recreation Area and Holtong Beach | 観光地情報

Holtong Recreation Area is a recreational site located in Hampyeong Bay, surrounded by the three counties of Yeonggwang-gun, Muan-gun, and Hampyeong-gun in Jeollanam-do. The name Holtong originated from the land jutting out alone in the middle of the beach, initially called Holtu and changed to Holtong after the Korean War. It is located north of Muan International Airport and is a natural recreational area with dense pine forests and a long white sandy beach forming a magnificent view. This place allows visitors to enjoy sea bathing, camping, sea fishing, and sea water steaming all at once, making it a popular summer vacation spot. The gentle slope of the beach and the mudflats exposed during low tide allow for experiences like gathering clams and oysters, making it suitable for bathing and vacation trips with children. There is ample space between the pine trees for camping with cooking available; there are free camping areas as well as paid ones with electricity. The shallow water and calm waves make it suitable for enjoying marine sports like windsurfing.
